From: Josias Associates <josassoc@-----.COM> Subj: Sonatine by Pierre Gabaye Date: Tue, 24 Sep 1996 02:52:50 -0400
Benjamin,
Hats off to Eastman for assigning the Gabaye "Sonatine." One of
my favorite pieces, I performed it a few years ago after hearing a taped
performance by Darryl Stevens in Boulder, Colorado.
I didn't have any better luck than you in getting information on
the composer and would appreciate anything you turn up on the person. I
do recall referring to Gabaye as "he" just as you had and was
tentatively corrected by someone who thought Gabaye is/was a woman.
Based on the unusual complexity and sophistication of the piano
part, I would guess the composer's instrument to be primarily the piano.
I hope you turn up more about the composer and I also hope you'll
share the information.
Regards,
Connie
